RT shifting issue

[napper39]

just like the guy in the other said ,you must get the bike hot enough to check the oil not just a warm up and to do that you need to ride the bike for at least 20 mts,then you will get a good oil check,not just leting it ideal for a few mints,thats not warm enough.and id also say if its cold out side let it warm up befor you try to shift and alwas at lest 4500 rpm.:chat::thumbup:

You use the same engine start up drill that I use and have the same sounds and actions. But I know what causes it. It is the oil bath clutch discs. After they sit all night long the springs force the oil out from between the discs and the clutch plate linings grab a big grip that makes up our common "clunk noise."

i was wondering how many days the OP allowed it to sit?

what at is his ambient temperature for what he considers a cold start?

What oil did he use during the most recent change?

Every wet clutch bike I ever owned did the same drill of sticking or clunking! When I made the switch to Amsoil it got less noticeable thank the scientist's for synthetic oils.

I had a feeling there was method to my madness. Your information added some of the why's and wherefores. Thanks. :2thumbs:
